Chapter 56
It was Nathan. He had returned to Penningcoll Residence that day and looked down at her and Jacob
from the balcony.
“You’re my girlfriend, ugly woman. It’s my duty to take care of you.” Jacob caressed her head intimately.
Caroline subconsciously looked up again. Nathan, on the balcony holding a cigarette in one hand and
having his other hand in his pocket, with his face being shrouded by darkness so it was hard to read his
expression, looked at them with cold disdain, like how an emperor would look at his lowly citizens.
Caroline quickly dodged Jacob’s hand. “Mr. Faraday, I’ll head inside now!”
Then, she entered the mansion.
Exhausted, Caroline went upstairs, wanting to return to her room. Her stomach still hurt, so she wished Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
to head to bed to rest up.
But as soon as she went upstairs, the tall and cold body came out and blocked her way.
Caroline’s long eyelashes trembled as she got a whiff of cigarette smoke from Nathan’s body. As the
nicotine came from high-end tobacco that cost a bomb,
athan exuded a pleasant and expensive-smelling masculine scent.
It was unknown how long Nathan had stood on the balcony, causing his body to radiate a frostiness
that was even worse than the cold outside.
Caroline looked up at him, asking, “What’s the matter, Mr. Faraday?”
Nathan had removed his suit jacket and wore a black shirt with two buttons undone, revealing his
collarbone. His right hand was in his pocket while he held a cigarette in his slender, expensive-watch-
wearing left hand. He looked at Caroline placidly. “Where did you go with Jacob? Why did you return so
late?”
“Nathan, we’re mere acquaintances. This is my personal matter. I don’t think it’s necessary for me to
report my business to you, right?”
Nathan did not get frustrated by her words. Instead, he puffed on his cigarette and blew the smoke onto
Caroline’s face.
The smell of nicotine caught Caroline off guard. She choked and coughed immediately.
Nathan pinched Caroline’s face with his cigarette-holding hand, forcing her to lift her face, which was
tear-stained because she was coughing excessively. He smiled frivolously. “How are we just
acquaintances? We just got intimate in bed with each

other.”
Caroline’s pale face flushed with shame and anger. She thought, “How dare he blow the smoke in my
face and say such shameless words to me? Everyone says that he, the head of the Faraday family, is
known to be proper and uninterested in women. I think the rumors are fake, though. He has a strong
desire for women!”
Caroline tightened her fists and looked at him defiantly. “Mr. Faraday, I’m Jacob’s girlfriend now. Do you
have to control where we go on a date?”
Nathan mused, “She admitted that she’s Jacob’s girlfriend and that they were out on a date just now.”
Nathan’s smile disappeared. He exerted force as he pinched Caroline’s chin. “Did you open your mouth
when Jacob kissed you?”
Caroline furrowed her brows in pain. However, she straightened her thin waist and lifted her eyes as
softness flashed across her eyes. “How do I open my mouth? Is it this way?”
She gently opened her mouth, showing the tip of her tongue.
“Caroline is looking at me provocatively. Even though she usually seems aloof and meek, she currently
radiates seductiveness! She’s so sexy!”
Nathan’s eyes turned red while red marks appeared on Caroline’s chin because he was holding on to it
forcefully. He chuckled. “Should I feed you the morning-after pills again now? I should take care of you
guys with my identity as ‘Uncle Nathan. If not, we wouldn’t know whether the kids belong to Jacob or
me if you get pregnant.”
Upon hearing what he had said, Caroline’s eyes suddenly turned cold. She raised her hand and
slapped Nathan’s face.
Smack!
